Dr. Brittany Collins

Feels good to get this out into the world. Thanks to all that contributed to getting this paper finally published. And all those that gave advice, reviews, etc, none of this would have been possible without all of you.

I am still in need of a PhD student interested in skeletal muscle physiology to start in fall 2024. Please contact me at bsgordon@fsu.edu if you are interested. This is a fully funded position. Do not hesitate to contact me about this position or if you have questions!

Today is a sad, but exciting day. Last day with this view. I am so thankful for everyone in @GabKardon lab for the past 5 years. In August I will be joining the team at BioFire Defense with the role of Senior Clinical Affairs Scientist.

Yesterday it was the end of an era. Last mouse cull… EVER!

You cough and wonder; Is it Covid, or maybe the inversion. Then you remember it doesn't matter because nobody in power seems to be interested in doing anything about either problem.

Couldn’t ask for anything better than this for Christmas. Love this little man.

If Sen. Manchin wants to vote against the Build Back Better Act, he should have the opportunity to do so with a floor vote as soon as the Senate returns.

Bernie Sanders on Manchin saying he's a no on BBB: "We've been dealing with Mr. Manchin for month after month after month. But if he doesn't have the courage to do the right thing for the working families of West Virginia and America, let him vote no in front of the whole world"

@KevinMurachPhD An 18 year, wow! Lucky guy.

Arkansas for the win! #bourbon

Ah, roses never smelled so sweet. 🌹

Feeling extra thankful & blessed this year
